James Royal - Call My Name / When It Comes To My Baby mp3 download

I got this single on a broiling midsummer day at a fundraiser rummage sale in Portland, Oregon, for a group called the Grant High Gendrills. What's a "Grant High Gendrill," you may well ask? Well, Ulysses S. Grant High School is a High School in Portland. Sally Struthers went there, as did Ndamukong Suh. They filmed "Mr. Holland's Opus" there.Their mascot is "The Generals."The "drill team" is called the "Gendrills." Get it? It's a portmanteau. "Generals" and "drills," (I think).So it was sweltering. Plenty of bored teenage girls. They had two records, laying flat in the hot sun.On top was a Lionel Richie album, absorbing the brutal rays. Under it, protected by it's shade, was a mint promo copy of "Call My Name" by James Royal. 25 cents.It's good! He's like a second-tier Tom Jones. In my world that's high praise.I thank that Lionel Richie record for sacrificing itself so I could nab this James Royal 45.
